VIBRATION PRODUCING DEVICE WITH SLEEP CYCLE FUNCTION AND TRANSDUCER
20230008214 · 2023-01-12 ·

A device is described for delivering a therapeutic vibration to a body. The device may include at least two motors in a housing with unbalanced masses coupled to their axles, such that vibration of the masses causes the two motors and housing to vibrate at a beat frequency 80. The motors and housing may be coupled to the body via a platform which places the motors and housings at or near a resonant structure in the body, creating a coupled oscillation between the platform and the body. The vibration may be based on the input signal, such that the system applies the vibration based on the input signal to the user, wherein the signal may be an audio or video signal. The system may be configured to measure and manipulate the flow of cerebral spinal fluid.

Sensing cannula systems

Disclosed cannula systems can detect the tissue type within which the cannula tip is located in real time using electrodes adjacent the cannula tip. The sensing cannula system can differentiate when the cannula tip is in adipose tissue or muscle based on electrical impedance. The system can be used in fat grafting and liposuction procedures, for example. An operator can detect if the cannula tip enters muscle by watching for an indicator light or audible alarm that is automatically activated by the device based on a change in sensed impedance. The device may also stop the flow of fat through a pump halting injection into the sub-muscular space.

METHOD FOR ESTIMATING DEVICE FIT USING PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA

Methods and systems are provided for assisting a user of a wearable biosignal monitoring device (2) in adjusting the device to achieve optimum fit and positioning. The biosignal monitoring devices considered use integrated bio sensors (5) to monitor the user’s physiological activity for various purposes such as tracking daily activity patterns, determining mood, and monitoring sleep stages, among others. It is determined either during device setup or during primary use of the device whether the current fit and positioning of the device (2) enable the bio sensors (5) to properly sense the physiological signals needed for the device to perform its primary function. The user is then informed either after initial device setup whether adjustments need to be made in order to optimize device function during primary use, or is informed after primary use whether adjustments need to be made in order to improve device function during future primary use.

Adaptive audio therapy system
11547321 · 2023-01-10 ·

An adaptive audio therapy system which detects and processes one or more individuals' conditions to provide adaptive, continuous audio therapy in real-time. The adaptive audio therapy system generally includes a detection device that is typically in physical contact with an individual, such as a pacifier or steering wheel. The detection device may include sensors to detect various conditions of the individual, such as heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, and the like. A computing device receives and processes the various conditions detected by the sensors. Based on the detected conditions, the computing device provides audio therapy which is adaptive to the condition of the patient and which is continuously adapted in real-time.
